    well I have been hunting a long time but just this season started bowhunting. Different game for sure, have to learn to hunt all over again. out where I live the terrain is very flat and open 3-400 yard rifle shots are very common. I bought a Horton fury crossbow and a hoyt charger compound bow this year. must say I am hooked have been closer to deer than I ever thought possible. while I like the ease of use of the crossbow it has its drawbacks, long time to reload and very bulky in a tree stand. I am hooked on the hoyt though its a blast! anyway got a slickhead (doe) with my bow and must say all I want to do is hunt! if you guys can recommend some good books on the tactics of bowhunting I would greatly appreciate it. mainly interested in ground hunting trees can be few and far between. also in stalking tactics.

    anyway thanks in advance
